How do I undo the IOS 18.1.1 update?

My phone updated and I hate the way everything changed. My photos app is all switched around and confusing now. There are other apps as well that are confusing now. Besides apps my control center is switched around as well and when I tried to move around things in it, I can only switch some of them back to the way I had it. I’m not the best with change and too many things changed on my phone that I’m getting over stimulated trying to use my daily apps.

iPhone SE, iOS 18

This new 18.1.1 photos update is absolutely ridiculous, and needs to be addressed with the next update ASAP.

It seems like you guys are at a point of just making changes to make changes no matter how useless and unnecessarily complicated they are.

very unhappy loyal Apple customer!!!

We guys are users, just like you. There's an old saying........"You can please some of the people some of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time."


Apple didn't please you with the new Photos app and I know you aren't alone. But I really like the new Photos app. I've taken a bit of time to learn the new features, which yes are different, but offer more than the photos app ever did.


That said, you can customize it now, so if you don't like it, you can make it more like you remember --> Customize the Photos app on iPhone - Apple Support

Audible and Spotify will have to upgrade their apps to be compatible with iOS. Spotify updated their app just a day ago. Have you updated your app?


Audible updated their app 3 times in the last week. That’s tells me their app is full of bugs and they’re struggling to patch all their issues.


Have you talked to either apps support teams to inquire about their apps issues ?

You can no longer actually download a wav file that you spend countless hours mastering, cause Apple thinks it’s fricking funny to redirect you every single fricking time to a messages app that literally just piena and does nothing.

I suggest posting a new question in the iPhone forum. There will be a lot more people that will see your post and may be able to offer a solution. It is only likely to be seen here by the small number of people that are subscribed to this post.

IOS 18.1.1 calendar is bad..bad. It was fine the way it was. To improve your calendar provide an option to undo the pre-selected hours column, which would open the text column to read more at a glance.

You appear to think you are writing Apple here? You're not. This is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't read for user feedback. If you want to tell Apple what they need to do with their calendar, you can use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
